Geordie582 Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 Casting the net wider. I'm looking for clues as to the identity of this coin.It looks like H & V bracketing the shield. The reverse is long cross type but the cross is mad up of 4 swords. A rosette in each quadrant.14 mm diameter 0.7grams. I can't find it in Mayhew. Any suggestions welcome Quote
scott Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 probably portugese by the shield design.dont see many myself to pin it to date though. Quote
HistoricCoinage Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 Checkout my reply on my forum, Richard.Looks like a half real but your diameter and weight are lower than would be expected. Quote
Geordie582 Posted May 4, 2013 Author Posted May 4, 2013 (edited) Thanks Clive! I've read your reply and Dpul7 has given me food for thought. For those inquisitive of the reply:-It is a fractional of Portugese Soldos of around 1400, to be refined by further investigation. Edited May 4, 2013 by Geordie582 Quote
